It is the biggest game for Big Ten Football: The Ohio State Buckeyes vs The Michigan Wolverines. This Rivalry dates back to 1897 when the first ever Ohio State VS Michigan Wolverines was played. Michigan came out on top that year and brought bragging rights with it. Michigan won the first 12 games and tied 2 giving them a hefty lead in front of OSU. In 2023, the overall record is Michigan leading with 60 wins, Ohio State with 51 wins, and 6 ties throughout the 126-year rivalry. Hopefully this year we can change the standing and make it 52 wins for Ohio State.
The quarterback’s stats for this year match up are: The Ohio State QB, Kyle McCord has 2,687 yards thrown, 20 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and an 84.9 QBR, and he is going up against `Michigans QB, JJ McCarthy’s, 2,914 yards thrown, 18 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and a 92.6 QBR. They are both going to throw a good game, but even though JJ McCarthy has a better overall percentage, I think Kyle McCord will end up throwing a good game and give us the win. The records would also be critical to finding who’s going to win. OSU’s overall record this season is 10-0 and Michigans is also 10-0 so it’s going to be a pretty close game with their QBs being so similar and their records being equal too.
